...Batley Entrepreneurship Club welcomes Yousif Aslam.
Co-Founder and Managing Director of Heavenly Desserts.
The title of this talk is:
Local Foundations. Global Operations.
Heavenly’s Zero-to-Sixty Trajectory.
Yousif's story will resonate with a lot of people.
His father, like mine, was a taxi driver: a generation that legit struggled with hard graft to give the following gen. a platform to excel.
I think it's safe to say Yousif did take that platform, continued the graft, to excel:
Heavenly Desserts opened in 2008 from local roots & humble beginnings in the Midlands - when we had a financial crisis.
For 2 years, in his own words, it was "dead" - but eventually the brand, reputation and culture began to grow.
They now have a whoppin' 60+ locations across the UK (including BATLEY); and 4 internationally with more due to open soon, including Canada, Germany, Pakistan & India.
Aside from Heavenly Desserts, Yousif sat alongside Lord Sugar as a guest panellist on the BBC's Apprentice Final.
Yousif represents a masterclass in patience, discipline and getting the foundations right before scaling...
...making this talk invaluable for people across the spectrum on their business journeys.
